Question
My daughter is 3 years old and has recently started complaining of a sore throat, along with coughing and a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of children’s tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with the selection of sensitive medications based on bacterial culture, usually with good results. Additionally, regional application of medication sprays or radiation therapy can be considered. If the child experiences throat pain, analgesics may be used. Some children may have a fever, and oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a light diet, increase nutritional supplements, and promote a quick recovery.
