Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is currently 9 years old and has just started experiencing a slight sore throat. She also has a hoarse voice when speaking and is accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat her painful pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this type of illness, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional rinses or sprays. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils, with good efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case, you can give them oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to have the child engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
