Question
A 4-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, cough, and low-grade fever. How should we treat the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be chosen based on the symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection therapy can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used, and if there is persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to consider surgical treatment if the tonsillitis recurs frequently, while also paying attention to a light diet, enhancing nutritional supplementation, which will help in recovery.
