Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water and her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication, and in addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. In cases of throat pain, children can also be given painkillers. If there is also a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is suggested. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
