Question
Dear parents, our daughter is 3 years old and has recently started experiencing throat pain while speaking and difficulty swallowing. She also seems to have a slight fever. We would like to ask: What are effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be used appropriately. At the same time, regional treatments such as gargling or topical medications can be administered to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be given, and physical fever-reducing methods can be employed during mild fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
