Question
A 5-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, suspected tonsillitis . How should treatment be conducted to achieve the best results?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. Concurrently, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can be considered to enhance efficacy. If there is a sore throat, painkillers may be considered. For persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered or immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor early on, and pay attention to preventive and health care measures in daily life.
