Question
My son is 7 years old. He recently started feeling a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed his coughing seems more severe. Additionally, he has a bit of a fever and seems lackluster. How should we treat his tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture for systemic use, or regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child also has a fever, consider giving antipyretic medication, but if the fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their children for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
