Question

A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, has just started to feel a bit of pain in his throat. He has noticed that he is coughing more severely, and now he has a persistent high fever. How should we treat children’s tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. The choice of sensitive drugs can be based on bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional treatments such as irrigation and direct medication can consolidate the therapeutic effect. Painkillers can also be administered to relieve throat pain, and antipyretic drugs can control fever symptoms in children with fever. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if children repeatedly suffer from inflammation, parents can also choose surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
