Question
A 6-year-old boy has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and a low-grade fever. How should one treat the discomfort of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for such conditions may include the use of symptomatic antibiotic medications, laser therapy, or pharmacological irrigation. If the child is troubled by throat pain, analgesics can be considered. In cases of persistent fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medications. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical methods of cooling can be considered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost their immune system and prevent recurrence of the disease.
