Question
My daughter is 2 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms of throat pain, a slight cough, and fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis with throat pain?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic medication can be used for treatment, along with regional cleaning or spraying, and injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, which can be effective. If the throat pain is severe, consider using a moderate amount of pain reliever. If the child has a fever, it should be brought down promptly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If there are multiple severe acute symptoms or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy within two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
