Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and a bit of fever, and he also seemed lackluster. Please ask: How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is for parents to give their child some antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsil drug injections. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
