Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she complained of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and low fever for the best results?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic treatment, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections can be considered. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, a moderate dose of pain reliever can be considered to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is also one of the treatment methods, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
