Question
My daughter, who is 2 years old, is experiencing throat pain, coughing, and high fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, along with local treatments such as gargling and direct medication. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of severe high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is one method suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to related preventive health care work.
