Question
A 7-year-old girl has discovered that she feels a sore throat when drinking water, and she is experiencing quite severe coughing, along with a persistent low-grade fever. Her parents want to know how to treat the sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis.
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can include antibiotic medications, combined with local treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers are recommended. If the child continues to have a fever, antipyretics should be used; if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgery may need to be considered. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and take preventive and health care measures in daily life.
