Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting a sensitive antibiotic based on the results of a bacterial culture, along with regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection medications. For children with significant throat pain, analgesics can be used in moderation, along with antipyretic medications or immediate medical attention. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it’s important to provide light meals and balanced nutrition to promote a quick recovery.
