Question
My daughter is 2 years old, and she recently complained of a sore throat accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low-grade fever. What is the best way to treat tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
Generally, antibiotics can be used to treat tonsillitis in children, and regional treatments such as cleaning tonsil crypts or injecting medications can be considered if the child’s condition is severe. For children with throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken orally for persistent fever. In addition to medication, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid letting the child catch a cold to prevent recurrence of inflammation.
