Question
My 2-year-old son has a sore throat, cough, and fever recently. How should I treat his tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis may include oral anti-inflammatory drugs, local irrigation or spray, intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medication, etc. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used moderately. For persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. It is recommended to pay attention to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest under the guidance of a physician, and avoid fatigue. Surgical treatment is applicable in cases of recurrent attacks.
