Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, followed by more severe coughing and a low-grade fever. What are the treatment options for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria. In addition, regional treatments are recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. Painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain, and physical cooling (cooling) can be performed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is also a method of treatment, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. At the same time, pay attention to giving your child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation, which will help in a faster recovery.
