Question
How should sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Appropriate administration of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be given for systemic treatment, and regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. Painkillers can be provided when the child’s sore throat is evident. If fever is present, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is controlled, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
