Question
How should one treat a child with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity or injecting medication. Painkillers can be administered as needed, especially when there is severe throat pain. If fever is present, antipyretics can be used accordingly, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
