Question
Dear parents, our 9-year-old daughter has recently started feeling a sore throat, a slight cough, and a low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Currently, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose medications based on the symptoms and also consider regional treatments such as gargles and topical applications to enhance the efficacy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. For children with persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis often recurs, and if the condition occurs frequently, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
