Question
My son is 9 years old and has started to feel a sore throat and a slight cough when speaking. He also has a persistent fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting a sensitive antibiotic based on the results of a bacterial culture, as well as using laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation for regional treatment. For sore throat, you can give your child painkillers and perform physical cooling (cooling) based on the body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. During treatment, it is necessary to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after control to prevent recurrence.
