Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has initially shown symptoms of sore throat, followed by severe coughing and persistent high fever. Inquiry: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture results. It is suggested to consider laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is very severe, analgesics can be used in moderation. If accompanied by fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. The aforementioned methods are common treatments for tonsillitis. Surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
