Question
My daughter, who is currently 7 years old, has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered; if there is a fever, a moderate amount of fever-reducing medication can be used, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the tonsils repeatedly become inflamed, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding colds that may trigger further inflammation.
