Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, feels pain when swallowing water, lacks energy, and has a hoarse voice. How should one treat infants and young children with swollen tonsils and pharyngitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include anti-inflammatory medications, local sprays or laser therapy, as well as painkillers as needed. For fever, cooling methods can be chosen based on body temperature, such as physical cooling or oral fever-reducing drugs. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment while also ensuring good hygiene and adequate rest.
