Question
My son is 9 years old. He has been feeling a sore throat recently, with severe coughing and a persistent low fever. How can one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis, one can select some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance or undergo regional treatments such as regional rinsing or regional spray. One can also inject symptomatic medications to treat tonsillitis. For sore throat symptoms, consider pain relief, and for fever, one can take antipyretic medication. If there is a high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrent attacks, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to health preservation, eat light meals, and consume mainly liquid foods.
