Question
My son is 4 years old and has recently been suffering from a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent high fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
Treatment methods include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional therapy (such as tonsil crypt irrigation), administration of pain relief medication, and antipyretic medication. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. It is also essential to provide a light diet, supplement nutrition, and assist in recovery.
