Question
A 6-year-old boy has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, slight cough, and a lack of energy with fever. The child’s tonsils are inflamed and swollen. What treatment methods should be considered for the best results?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis currently involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms and may opt for regional treatments, such as tonsil lavage or regional injections of medication. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by a low-grade fever, physical cooling can be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Parents should take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child early on, and also pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
