Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, pain when drinking water, severe coughing, and fever. How should I effectively treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is advised for parents to select suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can be considered to reinforce the treatment effect. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered; if accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
