Question
My son is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, pain when drinking water, slight coughing, and low-grade fever, which seems to be pediatric tonsillitis. How should this condition be treated? What are some effective methods?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes the following points: Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, which can include local sprays or laser therapy. When the throat pain is severe, administer appropriate pain relievers to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, use antipyretic medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be performed. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease, take their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
