Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old and has started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by coughing and fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it can be initially treated with antibiotics, while also considering regional treatment methods to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and regional tonsil injections. If there are symptoms of throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve the condition. If the child has a fever, it can be appropriately reduced. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, so after inflammation control, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables.
