Question
My daughter is 2 years old, she has a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, with a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Parents can choose to treat with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and can perform regional treatments such as irrigation, internal injection, and laser therapy to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If symptoms are severe, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If there is a fever, it should be reduced appropriately; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is necessary to supplement nutrition, pay attention to light diet and sufficient rest, and avoid fatigue.
