Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed he had a slight cough and fever, as well as a lack of energy. What should I do to treat pediatric tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on the culture of the causative bacteria, along with regional treatments such as lavage or direct medication to reinforce the effect. For symptoms primarily characterized by throat pain, painkillers can be considered; children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic medication, and in severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If episodes occur frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence, and it is necessary to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
