Question
A three-year-old girl is suffering from tonsillitis, mainly complaining of throat pain, discomfort while drinking water, difficulty in swallowing, and accompanied by persistent fever. How should one effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a physician to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional irrigation or spraying, as well as tonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, can all achieve good therapeutic effects. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving painkillers. If fever is present, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be administered, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is advisable to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to rest to avoid overexertion.
