Question
A 8-year-old girl recently reported throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough and high fever. She inquired about the best treatment for pediatric tonsillitis.
Answer
Currently, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Treatment can be selected based on symptoms, such as systemic or regional treatment methods, like tonsil lavage or tonsil injection. It is important to use painkillers appropriately. If there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the treatment is ineffective and there are frequent recurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep warm and avoid colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
