Question
A 10-year-old boy, now in elementary school, has begun to feel a sore throat, which is painful even when drinking water. He is also suffering from severe coughing and persistent high fever. Inquiry: How should infant and toddler angina and swollen tonsils be treated?
Answer
Currently, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics as the main medication. After selecting drugs that are sensitive to bacteria, the efficacy is good. It is recommended to consider regional treatment with laser therapy or drug irrigation when treating symptoms mainly characterized by throat pain. For the main symptom of sore throat, analgesics can be considered. At the same time, physical methods can be used to lower body temperature, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. These methods are currently more commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent attacks. After the condition improves, it is suggested that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
