Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat accompanied by a slight cough and fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes the use of antibiotic medications for symptomatic relief, regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts and injecting medications, administering painkillers to alleviate throat pain, antipyretics, and timely medical consultation. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment, and it is advisable to avoid spicy foods and to consume mainly liquid diets.
