Question
An 8-year-old boy reported a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include various methods, such as oral anti-inflammatory medications, topical treatments (such as tonsil irrigation or injections), and if the sore throat is severe, oral painkillers may be considered. For persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be used. Surgery is one method suitable for recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
