Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should she be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves first administering symptomatic antibiotic medications, supplemented by regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be used. If symptoms do not improve, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
