Question
A 4-year-old boy initially experienced a sore throat when speaking, with slight coughing and a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves the use of antibiotics. Medications can be selected based on bacterial culture to find sensitive drugs, and combined with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection. Painkillers, antipyretics, or medical treatment may be necessary if needed. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and lifestyle habits to help them recover quickly.
