Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough, and has a persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can initially administer oral anti-inflammatory medications to their child, and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or regional injections. When the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; if the child continues to have a high fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may need to be considered. It is recommended that parents take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
