Question
13-year-old boy, in elementary school, with sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, choose appropriate anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and perform local cleaning or spray treatments. In some cases, regional injections may also be administered. Painkillers can be given as needed, and fever can be reduced accordingly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. Recurrent cases may consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid colds that may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
