Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, along with a low-grade fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis effectively during crying and distress?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the common methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis and can be used discretionarily. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can also be effective. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. Use fever-reducing medication promptly when there is persistent fever. For acute severe inflammation or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to prevention and health care.
