Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and she has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent fever recently. Could this be pediatric tonsillitis? What treatment should be considered?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation, and fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition worsens or the inflammation recurs, medical consultation should be sought promptly. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable arrangements the child’s diet and rest habits, which will help in the recovery from the illness.
