Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has been coughing, feverish, and suffering from a sore throat. How should she be treated?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics, selecting sensitive drugs based on the pathogen. Regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsil can also be performed. Painkillers or physical coolingmethods can be administered if necessary. If symptoms persist and recur, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During the treatment period, pay attention to feeding her with light and liquid foods primarily.
