Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She has a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and fever, and lacks energy. How should we treat her tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis typically involves administering anti-inflammatory medications, along with local treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation and injection medications. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve symptoms. If the fever persists, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur. If the situation is similar, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
