Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 9 months old. Initially, she complained of a sore throat when swallowing, and she has been experiencing a slight cough. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat tonsillitis in children to ensure effective results?
Answer
We recommend that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor for their child, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and injection of medications, and adequate pain relief can be provided. Especially when there is severe throat pain, this can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication or immediate medical attention should be sought. Surgery is also one of the treatment methods, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
