Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She recently started complaining of pain when swallowing, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe. It also appears that she’s had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, while also conducting local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance the efficacy of treatment. For throat pain, some painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medicine or take them to the hospital immediately. Surgery is a method suitable for children with recurrent attacks, during which the child should be allowed to rest adequately and consume more vegetables and fruits.
