Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, making swallowing difficult, and she’s been running a low-grade fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis pharyngitis to achieve good results?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis pharyngitis, appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered. Treatment can also be administered through regional irrigation or spray medications, and injecting symptomatic drugs into the tonsils is also effective. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be given. If the child has a mild fever, it can be appropriately reduced. However, if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest, avoiding overexertion.
