Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent high fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, or laser treatment. If the primary symptom is throat pain, analgesic medications can be considered; for fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
