Patient's question:
How to treat pediatric tonsillitisDoctor's answer:
Children with tonsillitis need to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. If the child exhibits symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and red tonsils, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Blood tests and other examinations should be conducted to determine the cause. If the tonsillitis is caused by a virus, antiviral medication should be administered; if it is due to bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used. If the tonsillitis recurs more than five times within a year, it is advisable to take the child to an otolaryngology department for a doctor's diagnosis to determine whether surgical removal of the tonsils is necessary.
