Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening symptoms due to cold exposure.
