Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and she also had a slight cough. Additionally, it seems like she has been running a low fever that hasn’t subsided. How can the pain from tonsillitis in children be effectively treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. You can also complement this with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also effective. Depending on the child’s condition, you can also administer painkillers, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to health maintenance in everyday life and focus on liquid foods during treatment.
