Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Lately, she has been experiencing pain when swallowing and difficulty drinking water, accompanied by a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications and regional treatments under a doctor’s guidance, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and injection medications. It is recommended to administer painkillers and physical cooling (cooling). If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, seek medical attention promptly. If it recurs frequently, consider surgery, and at the same time, pay attention to staying warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of inflammation.
