Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat accompanied by a mild cough, along with a persistent high fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is typically treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended that parents choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms and consider regional treatments such as gargling or topical medications to enhance the effectiveness. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be considered, and fever-reducing medications can be used if there is fever. It is advisable to seek medical attention early if there is a persistent high fever, and for recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
