Question
A 3-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. What should be done to treat the crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application can be performed to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in moderation. Some children may have fever as well; in this case, the child can take oral fever-reducing medication. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
