Question
An 11-year-old boy, attending elementary school, initially experienced a sore throat, accompanied by coughing and low-grade fever symptoms. How should one treat a sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic treatment should be considered first, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection medications can be combined. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. Fever can be treated with antipyretic medications. In case of severe symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. After the condition improves, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
