Question
How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis when the tonsils are inflamed and swollen?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In more severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, parents may consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents may also opt for fever-reducing medication. Alternatively, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost their immune system and prevent recurrence.
