Question
My son is 8 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever recently. What are the treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, for children with tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatment measures such as tonsil washing or injection of medication. If there is throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be administered; some children may have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is also a method of treatment for recurrent episodes, and parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive health care work.
