Question
My daughter is currently 2 years old. She initially complained of a sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and slight fever, and showed a lack of energy. How can pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, while also conducting localized treatments such as gargling or using localized medications. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can be considered to alleviate severe throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken orally if there is fever. If symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
