Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 3 years old and has recently started experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever and lack of energy. What are the most effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical practice, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil cleaning and injections may be combined. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate the discomfort; for fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of severe illness, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For children with recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. Meanwhile, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
