Question
How should one prevent pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has a recurring fever, it is recommended to conduct routine blood tests, C-reactive protein levels, and specific pathogen antibody tests (such as EB virus antibodies, mycoplasma, and chlamydia antibodies). At the same time, attention should be paid to symptoms such as strawberry tongue, conjunctivitis, and lymphadenopathy. When the body temperature exceeds 38.3℃, ibuprofen should be administered to reduce fever. In addition to timely treatment for tonsillitis, parents should maintain a calm attitude and pay attention to their child’s diet management, focusing on light and easy-to-digest foods while avoiding spicy and cold foods, in order to effectively prevent tonsillitis.
