Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and she recently has a sore throat and a low-grade fever. Her voice has also become hoarse. What are the effective treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The current treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional treatment is recommended to use laser or medication irrigation. Painkillers can be used when the throat pain is severe, and antipyretic medications can be taken when there are fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If there is a recurrent inflammatory condition, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eats a light diet, gets plenty of rest, and avoids fatigue.
