Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication for their child and may consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, medication injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered, and oral fever-reducing medication can be taken for persistent high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
