Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she seemed to have a low-grade fever that never went away. How should I treat her high fever effectively for infant tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the pain. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be physically cooled, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a feasible method, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help recover as soon as possible.
