Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 9 years old and experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and low fever. Could this be a case of pediatric tonsillitis? How should this condition be treated?
Answer
Common treatments for tonsillitis include antibiotic medications, regional therapy, or even laser therapy. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical methods can be employed to lower fever if present. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, parents should ensure warmth and avoid colds to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
