Question
My son is five years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent high fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
You may consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, along with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional drug injections. If your child is experiencing severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If there is a fever, it should be monitored and treated appropriately; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical assistance should be sought. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to provide your child with a light diet, increase nutritional supplements, and promote recovery.
