Question
My 7-year-old daughter has contracted pediatric tonsillitis while suffering from severe coughing and persistent fever. How can we effectively treat it?
Answer
Clinically, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, selecting drugs sensitive to bacteria to enhance treatment effectiveness. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatments such as cryptorchid washing or tonsil injections can also be performed. For children mainly presenting with throat pain, it is recommended to administer analgesics in appropriate doses to alleviate symptoms. In cases of persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. For mild fever, physical cooling (temperature reduction) can be employed. If symptoms are severe or complications arise, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
