Question
The 4-year-old girl has just started to feel a bit of soreness in her throat, along with a slight cough. Additionally, she has a bit of fever and seems less energetic. How should we treat her pediatric tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on the results of a bacterial culture, and at the same time, some regional treatments can be carried out, such as rinsing or direct medication applications, to reinforce the efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. For feverish conditions, oral fever-reducing medication can be given to the child. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment process, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and promote a quick recovery.
