Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and it seemed a bit difficult. He also had a slight fever and lost his energy. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated appropriately?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. If symptoms are severe, regional treatment can be combined, including cleaning the tonsillar cavity and injecting medications. Painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain, and fever reduction methods should be tailored to the body temperature. If the condition recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent tonsillitis.
