Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has a slight sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and combine them with local treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation and tonsil injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. It is important to lower fever promptly, especially if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, and to seek medical attention as soon as possible. After the condition is controlled, surgery can be considered to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
