Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. How can we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever to achieve better results?
Answer
For such conditions, children can be administered symptomatic antibiotic medications. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or drug irrigation. If severe throat pain is present, analgesics can be appropriately used. Physical cooling methods can also be employed, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Maintain a light diet during this time, and focus on liquid foods for consumption.
