Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 3 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The common treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Options include regional rinsing or spray, as well as intramuscular symptomatic medications. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the fever persists, consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking medical attention. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered post-treatment, while also paying attention to a light diet and nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
