Question
My 7-year-old son has tonsillitis, with symptoms of sore throat, cough, and low fever. How should he be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection therapy can also be considered. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given, and for fever, cooling methods should be selected according to body temperature. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. Moreover, it’s important to keep the child warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
