Question
My 3-year-old son is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to select suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Consider regional treatment methods such as rinsing or regional injections as well. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a persistent fever, it should be addressed promptly or medical attention should be sought. If pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition and focus on light meals. Pay attention to getting enough rest and avoid fatigue.
