Question
My son is 2 years old. He recently started having a sore throat, and it seems like swallowing is a bit difficult. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Currently, in the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. The choice of sensitive medication can be based on bacterial culture, with good results. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers and fever reducers in moderation. If the fever persists or severe symptoms arise, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases where severe symptoms persist after acute inflammation or complications have occurred, consideration should be given to tonsillectomy, and attention should be paid to providing light meals and supplementing nutrition to help the child recover quickly.
