Question
Dear reader, a 5-year-old girl has recently started experiencing a sore throat while speaking, with a hoarse voice and a persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis involves selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For regional treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation is recommended. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered according to the situation. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, pay attention to a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
