Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough and a low-grade fever. What should be the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis if it’s very painful and how effective can it be?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can also be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, it is important to do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
