Question
My daughter, currently 6 years old, initially complained of throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, the selection of appropriate medication sprays or laser therapy, painkillers to relieve throat pain, and the use of fever-reducing medication when necessary. If the fever persists without improvement, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In some cases, surgical treatment may be considered. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to a light diet and nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
