Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, is experiencing sore throat, coughing, and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can initially involve anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct drug injection can also be considered, along with painkillers as needed. If there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical assistance should be sought. If symptoms frequently recur, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
