Treatment Methods for Pediatric tonsillitis

A 2-year-old girl has a sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated? The doctor suggests using anti-inflammatory medications according to the child’s condition and considering regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, physical cooling methods can be adopted if there is a low-grade fever. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also necessary to ensure the child stays warm to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
