Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, treatment options may include antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, as well as regional irrigation or spray treatments. If there is internal inflammation in the tonsils, corresponding medications can be injected for therapeutic effects. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. Apart from medication treatment, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the recommendation of a doctor. Moreover, arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits is also crucial for the recovery from the disease.
