Question
My son is 2 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat along with a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection medication. When the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered, and physical cooling (temperature reduction) should be noted. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If the condition frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment. After recovery, it is suggested that children engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
