Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever. Could this be pediatric tonsillitis? How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection medications. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered; for persistent fever, consider antipyretics; and if the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the course of treatment, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
