Question
How should one treat a child with tonsillitis and a sore throat?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medication to their child. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. For children with significant sore throat, painkillers can be used; if accompanied by a fever, antipyretic medication can also be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible in the case of high fever. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
