Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, you can consider giving the child anti-inflammatory medication and conducting regional treatment on the tonsil area, such as rinsing the tonsil crypts or injecting medication. If the throat pain is severe, you can use painkillers in moderation. If the child continues to have a fever, you can administer oral fever-reducing medication. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated recurrences, consider surgical treatment. Additionally, parents should regularly take measures to keep warm to avoid catching a cold and causing a secondary tonsillitis inflammation.
