Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She recently has been experiencing sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents give the child a moderate dose of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be applied, and painkillers can be used if there is sore throat. For fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to medication, if the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to giving the child a light diet, supplementing nutrition, and promoting early recovery.
