Question
A 8-year-old boy, attending elementary school, initially felt a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and a slight fever, and was not feeling well. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, consider administering symptomatic antibiotics, performing regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection medications, and possibly using pain relievers to alleviate severe throat pain. If there is a fever, appropriate amounts of antipyretics can be used, but if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. During treatment, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
