Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and she has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever. I would like to ask what the most effective treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. The choice of sensitive medication can be based on the results of bacterial culture, and regional irrigation or spraying can also be performed. Symptomatic injections into the tonsils are also effective. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to medication, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
