Question
A four-year-old boy has a sore throat, hoarse voice, fever, and lacks energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The main treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and parents can choose appropriate medications based on symptoms. In addition, laser therapy or medication rinsing can be selected for regional treatment. For children with mainly throat pain, analgesics can be appropriately administered to relieve symptoms. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. Surgery is also a viable option, especially suitable for children with recurrent attacks. At the same time, it is important to help children establish reasonable dietary and rest habits, which will help in their early recovery.
