Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She feels a sore throat and hoarseness when she talks, and she has been running a fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with fever for the best results?
Answer
The treatment method can include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. Painkillers can also be administered to alleviate the child’s pain. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. For recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets ample rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
