Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 5 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low fever. How should we treat the red swelling of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis usually involves administering anti-inflammatory medication, applying local sprays or undergoing laser therapy. For throat pain, painkillers can be given, and if the child has a fever, it is important to use fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. Surgery is suitable for children with recurrent episodes, and during the treatment period, it is necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
