Question
My 4-year-old son is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, low-grade fever, and signs of tonsillitis. What should be done for treatment?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is antibiotic medication; if the condition is severe, regional treatment measures such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. When the child has significant throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken if there is a fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery can be considered after control, while keeping warm and avoiding colds to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
