Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old. She recently started saying that swallowing is painful. I noticed that her coughing has become more severe, and she has a persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively if it’s hard to manage?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and can also be supplemented with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the symptoms are mainly characterized by throat pain, consider administering painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
