Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She has just started experiencing a slight sore throat, and I’ve noticed that her cough seems more severe, and she also seems to have a persistent low fever. What should be done to treat an infant’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow medical advice and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatment methods can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken accordingly. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to pay attention to a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in recovery.
