Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 9 years old, just started saying she has a sore throat, and it seems her coughing is quite severe as well, accompanied by a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
How to treat pediatric tonsillitis. You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and also consider regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intravenous injection, laser therapy, etc. You can also give the child some painkillers based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some antipyretics. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child and strengthening nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
