Question
My son is 3 years old, and he has recently been experiencing symptoms like sore throat, cough, and low fever. Could this be pediatric tonsillitis? What is the most effective treatment?
Answer
The first consideration in treating pediatric tonsillitis should be the administration of anti-inflammatory medication for the child, while also opting for regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection of tonsil medication to enhance efficacy. For sore throat, painkillers can be considered, and for fever, fever-reducing medication can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold during the treatment period.
