Treatment Methods for Pediatric Tonsillitis and Sore Throat

Question

My child is a 1-year-old boy. He has recently started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?

Answer

For pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat, the first step is to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt cleaning or regional drug injections. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
