Question
My 9-year-old son has recently been experiencing a sore throat, persistent cough, and a slight fever. Could this be pediatric tonsillitis? What are the effective treatment methods?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended that you choose medication with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, and consider laser therapy or medication irrigation if necessary. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms occur frequently, surgery may be considered after evaluation by a doctor. Meanwhile, pay attention to providing a light diet and increasing nutritional supplementation, which will help in a quicker recovery.
