Question
My 9-year-old son has recently started experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever. How can we treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitive bacteria. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection therapy can be considered. For severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be used, and antipyretics should be administered promptly for fever. If medical treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. Parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as early as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
