How should one handle the situation where a child’s tonsils become inflamed, causing throat pain?
Answer
Currently, the primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the pathogenic bacteria. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can be performed. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to a doctor immediately. Surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Moreover, parents should pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
