Question
A boy, who is 2 years old, initially had a sore throat, and it was noticed that his coughing was more severe. Additionally, it seems that he has had a low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, performing regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, and administering injections. Painkillers can be used to relieve throat pain, and fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If these treatments are ineffective, medical assistance should be sought, and if medication fails, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to preventive and health care measures.
