Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old. She has been experiencing a sore throat since she started speaking, along with severe coughing and a low-grade fever that has not subsided. How can we effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms. If the condition is severe, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can also be considered. When the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used appropriately. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery may also be an option. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a light diet, increase nutritional supplements, and promote a quick recovery.
