Question
My son is 4 years old and has been suffering from a sore throat, coughing, and fever recently. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the primary treatment should be symptomatic antibiotic therapy, along with regional therapies such as rinsing or direct application of medication to enhance the effect. If the child experiences throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
