Question
What are some effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is often treated with antibiotics, ensuring that the medication is taken in sufficient dosage and for the full course. Complementary treatments such as traditional Chinese medicine, which helps to cool the body and detoxify, can also be used to alleviate symptoms. It’s important to avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold, irritating foods. If the condition does not improve, hospital treatment may involve a tonsillectomy.
