Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, consider administering anti-inflammatory medication first. If the condition is more severe, regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be combined. For sore throat, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretics should be taken, and immediate medical attention should be sought in case of high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
