Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy, and he has recently started to feel throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever. How should I treat the throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis can usually be treated with antibiotics, and regional treatments such as laser therapy or drug irrigation can also be considered. If throat pain is the main symptom, analgesics can be considered, and if fever is present, appropriate fever reduction should be administered. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If tonsillitis persists and recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. After recovery, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
