Question
Dear Sir/Madam, Our daughter, currently 2 years old, initially complained of a sore throat. We noticed she has a slight cough and now has a persistent high fever. How should we diagnose and treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial cultures, regional irrigation, or regional spraying, as well as injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. The efficacy is generally good. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents are advised to administer pain relievers as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain proper dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
