Question
Dear parents, my 3-year-old daughter has recently been complaining of a sore throat and a slight cough, along with a high fever. How can we effectively treat her pediatric tonsillitis discomfort?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, treatment can be chosen based on bacterial culture to select sensitive antibiotics, and combined with local treatment methods such as tonsil washing and injection medications. You can give your child some painkillers to relieve the sore throat, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. Moreover, parents should ensure warmth to prevent catching a cold that might trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
