Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and is complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should we treat the crying symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional therapy can also be considered, such as tonsil irrigation or intralesional injections. Painkillers can be considered when the child’s throat pain is severe, and fever-reducing medications should be used when there is a fever. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
