Question
My 9-year-old daughter has a sore throat with a low-grade fever and severe cough. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, common treatment includes the use of antibiotics, and regional treatments such as irrigation or injection of medication in the tonsil area can also be considered. Painkillers can be administered to relieve symptoms, while controlling fever. Physical cooling methods or oral fever-reducing medication can be chosen based on body temperature. If the medication is ineffective and symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be an option. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
