Question
My daughter is 5 years old and initially showed symptoms of a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should we diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication to treat their child’s tonsillitis to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing or applying topical medications can be performed to enhance efficacy. Painkillers can be given for severe throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken orally for persistent fever. If symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet and supplement nutrition to promote recovery.
