Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and has had a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Under permissible conditions, regional therapy can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injection of medication. For children with severe throat pain, analgesics can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
