Question
My daughter is 9 years old, and she recently has been experiencing severe sore throat, coughing, and a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil washing or regional injections. Additionally, the child can take a moderate amount of painkillers to relieve the sore throat and pay attention to physical cooling during low fever. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis occurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment and maintain good dietary hygiene and adequate rest during the treatment period.
