Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and she has recently been experiencing severe sore throat, coughing, and fever. How should I treat her for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, along with regional therapy to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For sore throat symptoms, analgesics can be considered, and antipyretic medications can be taken for fever. In severe cases, early medical consultation is essential, and if there are recurrent symptoms, surgical treatment may need to be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
