Question
A 6-year-old boy has recently started experiencing a sore throat accompanied by a slight cough and mild fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
The main treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms and may consider regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation or direct drug injection. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the condition recurs, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain health and ensure adequate rest time.
