Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She recently started saying that drinking water hurts her throat, and it seems difficult for her to swallow. She also has a low-grade fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and receive local drug sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition to relieve pain. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks, and surgery should be considered once the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
