Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed he has been coughing quite severely. Additionally, he has a persistent fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment options can also be considered, such as rinsing the tonsillar crypts and injecting medication into the tonsils. In cases where the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case they can be given oral fever-reducing medication. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
