Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and a slight fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. In severe cases, regional treatment such as tonsillectomy or injection of medication may be performed, and painkillers may be given to relieve pain as needed. If there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist in recovery.
