Question
My son is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a high fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice are the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be used, providing pain relief for the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe. If the child has a fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be taken, and in serious cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. After the condition improves, it is advisable for the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
