Question
A 5-year-old girl recently feels a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional sprays, or laser therapy can alleviate symptoms and physical cooling should be performed during low fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, professional medical assistance should be sought. If the condition frequently recurs, consider surgery as an option. Meanwhile, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly fluid foods.
