Question
Baby girl, 2 years old, has recently been experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
During treatment, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications should be administered based on the symptoms. Consider laser therapy or drug lavage for regional treatment. Painkillers can be used in moderation according to the child’s condition, especially to relieve severe throat pain. Some children may have fever and can take oral antipyretics. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe symptoms or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and reduce the risk of recurrence.
