Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever. How should I treat her for pediatric tonsillitis to achieve the best results?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, you can first consider giving your child anti-inflammatory medication and may also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever as well, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. Also, during the treatment process, it is important to ensure that your child maintains a light diet and supplements nutrition, which will help in recovery.
