Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, accompanied by coughing and fever symptoms, tonsillitis. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, first consider administering anti-inflammatory medications and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, or laser therapy. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken; in case of high fever, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits to aid in the early recovery of the condition.
