Question

An 8-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and feverish symptoms, and appears lackluster. How should one treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms and can also combine local treatment methods, such as tonsil washes and tonsil injections. If there is severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers according to the situation. If there are fever symptoms, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping warm in their daily lives to avoid catching a cold and triggering a secondary tonsillitis.
