Question
Dear parents, my 8-year-old daughter has recently started experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How should we treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer oral anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesics can be considered; if accompanied by fever, different methods of fever reduction should be used based on body temperature. In addition to medication, if the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
