Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old and has been experiencing throat pain while speaking, with a hoarse voice, and has been running a fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is antibiotics. Medications can be selected based on bacterial culture to find sensitive drugs, or regional irrigation or spraying can be performed, and symptomatic medications can also be administered by injection, with good therapeutic effects. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesics can be considered; if accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible during a high fever. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It is advised that parents pay attention to the disease and seek medical attention as early as possible, and also pay attention to preventive and health care work.
