Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and she has a sore throat and severe cough, along with a persistent high fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
For treatment, you can first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. For fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is suggested to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage her to eat more vegetables and fruits.
