Question
A 7-year-old boy, initially, had a slight pain in his throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and had been slightly feverish. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to give the child some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. In cases where the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can be provided. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to have the child engage in moderate exercise to boost their immune system and prevent recurrence.
