Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected tonsillitis Redness. How should it be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be based on the results of bacterial culture to select the appropriate antibiotic. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intralesional injection. If the child feels throat pain, analgesics can be administered. Some children may have fever as well; in this case, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
