Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old. She recently complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. How can we treat her pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. Under the condition of throat pain, children can be given some painkillers. If the child has fever symptoms, they can take some antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
