Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve inflammation symptoms. Consider regional treatment methods such as tonsil washes, injections, and administer appropriate pain relievers to alleviate pain. If the fever persists, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health practices.
