Question

How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, and the choice of medication can be based on the results of bacterial culture to select a sensitive drug for treatment. If the condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If symptoms are mainly throat pain, some painkillers can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
