Question
A 7-year-old boy, who is in elementary school, has started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and has a mild fever with a lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes oral anti-inflammatory medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection therapy. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered. For fever, antipyretic medication is recommended. In case of high fever, seek medical attention promptly. Pay attention to keeping warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms. If the condition recurs, consider surgical treatment.
