Question
A boy, already 1 year old, feels a sore throat when speaking, has a severe cough, and has been a bit feverish. How should a child with sore throat and swollen tonsils be treated effectively?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, with recommendations for laser therapy or medication irrigation. Parents can consider giving painkillers to relieve the sore throat, and fever can be treated with antipyretics. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Surgical treatment is suitable for children with recurrent attacks, while also paying attention to reasonable diet and lifestyle to aid recovery.
