Question
My son is 3 years old. What symptoms would indicate that he might have pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat? How should this condition be treated?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat, one can consider giving the child some antibiotics for symptomatic treatment, or regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsil crypts, intratonsillar injections, and other methods. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, some painkillers can be used. If the child persists in having a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to medication, if the child frequently recurs with inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure that the child has enough rest time.
