Question
A 9-year-old girl is just starting to experience a sore throat, mild cough, and low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, it can be considered to administer antibiotics to the child for treatment, as this method is quite effective. In addition, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation can be chosen for regional treatment. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital for immediate consultation. For cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and provide enough rest time.
