Question
My daughter is currently 2 years old and has started to feel a sore throat when she speaks, accompanied by slight coughing and low-grade fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional irrigation or spraying. Injection of symptomatic medication into the tonsils is also an option. When symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use pain relief medications to alleviate symptoms, and physical cooling can be used for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, consider surgical treatment. Also, pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to aid in a quick recovery from the illness.
