Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and she has recently started complaining of a sore throat, along with a slight cough and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For this situation, first provide appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms; for regional treatment, consider laser therapy or drug irrigation; if the child primarily exhibits a sore throat, parents can give a moderate amount of pain relief medication to alleviate symptoms; if the child has a fever, it should be appropriately reduced. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, so after treatment, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
