Question
A 5-year-old boy has just started to feel pain when swallowing water, and he has a severe cough. It seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. It is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation for regional treatment. If the child experiences throat pain, some painkillers can also be given. If the child has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures can be taken. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is controlled, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
