Question
My son is 8 years old and has a sore throat with a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis discomfort?
Answer
The primary method for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotic medications, along with regional therapy to consolidate the efficacy. For the main symptom of throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken if there is a fever. If the symptoms are severe or recurrent, surgical treatment may be required. During treatment, it’s important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
