Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has just started saying that she feels pain when swallowing. Upon inspection, she also has a slight cough and a bit of fever, and she seems lackluster. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection therapy can also be good options. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be recommended to relieve symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. For children with recurrent severe acute inflammation or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage the child in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
