Question
Baby girl, 3 years old, with sore throat, hoarse voice, and slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, consider administering a moderate dose of antibiotic medication to the child. In severe cases, regional treatment methods can be combined, such as rinsing the tonsillar cavity and injecting medications. Additionally, painkillers should be given according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to relieve pain. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. Surgery is also a viable treatment option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
