Question
My son is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should I effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, you can choose sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or perform local cleaning or regional medication, even administering symptomatic medications via tonsil injection. For children with obvious sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If there is a persistent fever, you can administer antipyretics or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily. If the situation is similar, after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered, while also ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
