Question
A boy, aged 1, has been experiencing a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used under medical guidance, along with regional treatments such as tonsil washing or the application of regional painkillers. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Additionally, surgery is a viable treatment option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment process, it’s important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, primarily through light meals, and to maintain sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
