Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, feeling uncomfortable when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, first consider administering anti-inflammatory medication. If the condition is severe, a combination of local treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication, can be used. For sore throat relief, painkillers can be employed. If fever is present, consider taking antipyretic medication, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. These methods are common treatment approaches, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
