Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and has been experiencing throat pain, coughing, and fever, along with a lack of energy. How should we treat her pediatric tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
For children suffering from tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, as well as regional cleaning or spraying, or even symptomatic injections for treatment. If the main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is necessary; if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical methods can be considered for cooling down. Moreover, if the child frequently experiences inflammatory conditions, parents should consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. It is advised that parents pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment as early as possible, while also paying attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
