Question
My 3-year-old daughter has a sore throat, which is painful even when drinking water, severe coughing, and persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
You can choose to treat with medications recommended by the doctor that have anti-inflammatory effects, opt for laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation for regional treatment, and consider giving the child painkillers to alleviate throat pain. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. It is advised that parents pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to preventive health care measures.
