Question
My son is 2 years old and has started to have a sore throat, a hoarse voice, and has been slightly feverish. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, and in severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection drugs can be combined. If the symptoms of throat pain are severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. At the same time, physical methods can be used to lower the body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery early. At the same time, pay attention to giving light meals and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help the child recover quickly.
