Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 3 years old, just started feeling a sore throat when speaking, and it seems a bit difficult to swallow. She has also been slightly feverish. How should a child’s tonsillitis and fever be treated for better effectiveness?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. The choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, which tends to be effective. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. Painkillers can also be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. Additionally, antipyretics can be taken if there is a fever. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
