Question
Boy, 12 years old, what are the characteristic symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis? How should it be treated?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria, with good results. Regional treatment options include tonsil irrigation and intranasal medication. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention quickly if there is a high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
