Question
My daughter is 2 years old, and recently she has been feeling a sore throat when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, treatment should be tailored based on the results of bacterial culture, with regional treatments including tonsil irrigation and intravenous medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics should be used promptly. After controlling the inflammation, if there are recurrent attacks, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, rest adequately, and avoid fatigue.
