Question
My 7-year-old son recently developed a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever. I would like to ask about how pediatric tonsillitis should be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, one can choose sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture and also perform regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the condition frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment to avoid repeated episodes. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
