Question
A 4-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe cough, and slight fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat, consider administering appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for systemic treatment. At the same time, regional treatments can be adopted to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation or direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. Use antipyretics promptly when fever persists. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
