Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he also had a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be administered orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
