Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently started complaining about discomfort in his throat, with slight coughing and a low-grade fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there are fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, avoid fatigue, and rest more.
