Question
A 6-year-old girl is experiencing pain when swallowing and drinking water, her voice is hoarse, and she has a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Generally, pediatric tonsillitis can be treated effectively by administering antibiotics and symptomatic treatments to the child. This method is usually very effective. If the condition is more severe, regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can be considered. If the child has throat pain, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange for a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
