Question

A 10-year-old boy, a primary school student, complains of throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. The child’s tonsils are inflamed and painful. How should one effectively treat tonsillitis?

Answer

The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture to treat with sensitive medications. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal medication injections. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered, and fever reduction or medical consultation should be timely based on the situation. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
