Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and she recently has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and a lack of energy with fever. Could this be tonsillitis? How should tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The main treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, which can be selected based on the symptoms. In addition to medication, regional treatments such as rinsing and regional medication can be performed to consolidate the therapeutic effect. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered; timely application of antipyretics should be used when there is persistent fever. If there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, keeping warm is very important to avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
