Question
My son is 6 years old. He initially felt a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent fever. How should I deal with the situation of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment options can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intranasal medication injections. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be given to alleviate the symptoms. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
