Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then she started coughing more severely. Additionally, she had a low fever and seemed tired. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis when the child is crying and agitated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
