Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 6 years old and has been feeling a sore throat, slight cough, and fever with weakness recently. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is advisable for parents to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment under a doctor’s guidance, which can help alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation and regional injections can be used. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be recommended to relieve the discomfort. If fever persists, antipyretic medication can be taken. If there are multiple severe acute symptoms or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. Encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise after the condition improves to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
