Question

A boy, 3 years old, initially complained of a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and low-grade fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal drug injections. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be moderately administered. If the child has a fever, it is necessary to lower the temperature according to the situation; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
