Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy, and he’s been complaining of throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever recently. How should I handle the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and consider using regional drug sprays or radiation therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. In addition to medication, if symptoms persist, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
