Question
A 6-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and injection therapy. For those with pronounced symptoms of sore throat, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature. Additionally, it is recommended to provide light meals and nutritional supplements to aid in recovery. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on.
