Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent high fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis often involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If severe throat pain is present, analgesics can be administered in appropriate amounts. When fever persists, use antipyretic medications or seek immediate medical attention. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes vegetables and fruits.
