Question
A five-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, Suspected tonsillitis. How should this type of tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment is typically administered, showing significant effects. Additionally, regional rinsing or spray medications, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic drugs, can also achieve good therapeutic effects. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers may be considered. For persistent fever that does not subside, appropriate oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, children should be provided with light meals and enhanced nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
