Question
My son is 1 year old, and he recently said he has a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. He has a persistent high fever. How can I effectively treat the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment is typically used to alleviate symptoms, such as regional tonsil washing, medication injections, and laser therapy. When a child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, cooling methods can be chosen based on the body temperature. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, maintain a light diet with a focus on liquid foods.
