Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He has started to feel throat pain and discomfort, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low fever. How can I effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional treatment may suggest the use of laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Surgery is also a viable treatment option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
