Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever. How should we treat her pediatric tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
When treating children’s tonsillitis and fever, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be administered based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or intramuscular injections can also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be used. For persistent fever, a suitable antipyretic can be taken, but if symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and in similar cases, surgery may be considered after treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
