Question

An 8-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, tonsillitis . How should pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?

Answer

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis typically involves the use of antibiotic medications and may consider regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. When fever persists, parents should give fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
