Question
How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection therapy, and laser treatment. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents may consider giving some pain relief medication. If the child has a slight fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
