Question
A 5-year-old boy recently experienced sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. How should one handle pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatment methods can also be adopted, such as tonsil washing and intralesional injections. For children with more pronounced throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents are advised to give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital for immediate medical attention. For recurrent pain, surgical treatment may be considered. It is also important to arrange for the child’s reasonable diet and lifestyle, helping the disease recover sooner.
