Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she’s had a slight fever. How should the painful symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered, especially if the main symptom is throat pain. For children with fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Apart from these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under a doctor’s guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent symptoms from worsening.
