Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, cough, and high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsillectomy and regional injections. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be administered in appropriate doses; for persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be used, and physical coolingcan be considered when the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and pay attention to preventive health care.
