Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She recently started complaining about pain when swallowing, accompanied by a slight cough and a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered for treatment, including regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If there is throat pain, analgesics can be used as needed, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early and consider surgical treatment. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to preventive health care.
