Question
What is the best medication for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is not a serious condition, and there’s no need to worry too much. Since the child has a sore throat, they are unable to eat and thus cry more. Medication may not have a significant effect, so it might be better to opt for something that works faster. Pay attention not to give the child foods that cause stomach upset, are frozen, or are irritating. Ensure they drink plenty of water, as tonsillitis can lead to fever. Keep a close eye on their body temperature.
