Question
My son is 3 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis currently involves the use of antibiotic medications, selecting sensitive drugs based on the culture of the causative pathogen, which has proven effective. Regional treatments can consider radiation therapy or drug irrigation, and if the pain is severe, some painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to medication, if a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered, and it is encouraged to ensure adequate rest and consume more vegetables and fruits.
