Question
A boy, who is 2 years old, has recently started experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
Currently, antibiotics are commonly used in clinical settings to treat pediatric tonsillitis, and the choice of medication can be based on the results of bacterial culture to select a sensitive drug. At the same time, regional treatment can be conducted to enhance the effect. For symptoms primarily manifested as throat pain (throat pain), analgesics can be considered; if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly in cases of high fever. In addition to medication, if symptoms recur, parents may consider surgical treatment, and during the treatment period, it is important to provide adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
