Question
My 7-year-old son is experiencing a sore throat, with a slight cough and persistent high fever. What are effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered for symptomatic relief. Additionally, regional treatments can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection into the tonsil area. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. Some children may have a fever, and oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms persist, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the child repeatedly experiences this condition, after control, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
