Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How can I effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis for relief?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
