Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the primary drug options. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy are also effective assist treatments. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be adopted; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent cases, surgical treatment is a viable option. At the same time, parents should pay attention to arranging balanced diets and regular lifestyles for their children to promote recovery.
