Question
A 6-year-old boy has recently started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and fever with a lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the situation. Regional therapy is recommended, such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. Pain relievers can be moderately used to alleviate sore throat, and antipyretics can be taken orally for persistent fever. In severe cases, such as frequent recurrence or complications, it is advisable to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation resolves. Parents should ensure warmth and prevent recurrence of inflammation.
