Question
Dear parents, our daughter is 2 years old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should we treat the child’s tonsillitis with a swollen throat for the best results?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis usually involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose treatments based on symptoms, recommending regional treatment methods such as laser therapy or medication washing. If there are severe throat pain symptoms, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms and consider taking antipyretics. It is advised that patients with high fever seek medical attention early. If the condition is severe or complications have occurred, tonsillectomy can be considered after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
