Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and low-grade fever, which may be due to pediatric tonsillitis. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on the results of a bacterial culture, along with regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, and radiation therapy. In cases of severe sore throat or persistent fever, painkillers and fever-reducing medication can be administered to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, it is advisable for parents to take the child to the hospital for a consultation. For those who frequently experience recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended to engage in moderate exercise after recovery to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
