Question
A 5-year-old boy. Initially, he experienced discomfort in his throat, severe coughing, and fever. How should tonsillitis be treated in children?
Answer
The current main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involve the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication, which parents can choose based on the symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection therapy may be considered. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed; if there is a fever, it should be brought down appropriately. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment and maintain good dietary hygiene and adequate rest during the treatment period.
