Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 5 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as throat pain, hoarseness, and persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, regional treatments can be chosen to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered; if there is persistent fever, it is advisable to use antipyretic medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. Surgery can also be an option for children with recurrent episodes. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
