Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and she has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be prescribed for treatment, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or internal medication injections. Painkillers may be considered for severe throat pain, and if there is a fever, efforts should be made to reduce it. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid colds that may trigger the recurrence of tonsillitis.
