Question
Dear Baby, currently 6 years old, initially experienced sore throat, cough, and high fever. How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis, which can be administered systemically or consider regional treatment to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medication. If there is throat pain, analgesics can be considered; if there is fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and after controlling the inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment process, it is important to provide adequate nutrition, eat light foods, and ensure sufficient rest, avoiding overexertion.
