Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has a sore throat, severe cough, and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection medications. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation, and physical cooling (cooling) methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is one of the methods suitable for children who have frequent attacks. It is advisable for parents to take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to preventive measures and health care in their daily lives.
