Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old and has a slight sore throat accompanied by a mild cough. She has a high fever that does not subside. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to give the child anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. At the same time, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injections can also be considered to enhance the effect. For throat pain, analgesics can be administered to the child, and physical cooling can be applied if there is a low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensure the child has enough rest time.
