Question
A 4-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, worsening cough, and low-grade fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis, and the parents are seeking treatment advice.
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is commonly recommended to use antibiotics for treatment, which show significant effects. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered to alleviate symptoms. Painkillers can be administered for throat pain. During low-grade fever, physical cooling(temperature reduction) should be adopted. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is required. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
