Question
How to Treat Pediatric Tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis first requires determining the cause and administering medication based on the symptoms. If a child exhibits symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and tonsillar congestion, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and undergo routine blood tests to identify the cause. If the condition is caused by a virus, antiviral medication may be necessary; if it’s a bacterial infection, antibiotics may be required. If tonsillitis recurs more than five times within a year, it is recommended to bring the child to an otorhinolaryngology department for a doctor’s assessment to determine if a tonsillectomy is needed.
