Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 3 years old. She has just started to complain that drinking water or swallowing feels painful. I noticed that she seems to have difficulty swallowing and has been a bit feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
For treatment, first, provide symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also choose regional treatments to enhance efficacy, including tonsil pus washing and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under a doctor’s guidance. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease, take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
