Question
My six-year-old son recently has a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis and crying symptoms?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. A combination of systemic treatment and local treatment, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct drug injection, can enhance the effectiveness. If there is severe throat pain, consider giving painkillers; if the fever persists, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention. If symptoms recur, surgery may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
