Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has a sore throat, cough, and fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child anti-inflammatory medication. In severe cases, regional treatment options such as tonsil irrigation or injections may be considered. If the sore throat symptoms are severe, pain-relieving medication is suggested. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken, and in case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be considered, while also ensuring the child maintains a light diet, supplements nutrition, and aids in recovery.
