Question
Dear reader, my 8-year-old daughter is currently experiencing a sore throat and a slight cough, along with a persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or intralesional injections. For throat pain, painkillers can be used, and for fever, timely cooling (temperature reduction) is necessary. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, rest adequately, and avoid fatigue.
