Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has a sore throat when she speaks, accompanied by coughing and a low fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis to achieve good results?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Overall treatment can also include regional therapies to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct drug injection. When the child experiences severe pain, some painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to medication, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also a recommended option. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure that the child has enough rest time.
