Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, with the selection of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture results, which yields good effects. Additionally, regional spray medications or laser treatment can be used. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, it should be treated with antipyretic measures. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is advisable to provide the child with light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
