Question
A three-year-old girl is suffering from tonsillitis, with symptoms of throat pain, slight coughing, and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
For treating tonsillitis, one can opt for anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or perform regional rinsing and spraying, as well as injecting appropriate medication into the tonsils, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents may consider giving painkillers to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, children can take oral fever-reducing medication. If symptoms do not subside, medical assistance should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed in their daily lives to prevent colds from causing a recurrence of tonsillitis.
