Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has symptoms of sore throat, cough, and high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be administered. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or internal injections of medication can be considered. When the child experiences a sore throat, painkillers can be given, and antipyretics should be used promptly if there is persistent fever. If the medication treatment is not effective and there are repeated attacks, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to aid in a quick recovery.
