Question
My 8-year-old son has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include selecting sensitive antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or drug injections, and the use of painkillers for children with significant throat pain. Fever can be treated with appropriate medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is also an option for children who have recurrent episodes. During treatment, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
