Question

My daughter is 4 years old and has just started to complain about pain when swallowing. I’ve noticed that she’s coughing more severely and has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat her for infant and toddler tonsillitis with high fever?

Answer

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be given. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child is well-protected from colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
