Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed her coughing seemed more severe. Now, she has a persistent high fever. What should be the treatment for infant tonsillitis with low-grade fever for the best outcome?
Answer
To achieve effective treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and at the same time, perform some localized treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to consolidate the efficacy. You can also administer painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medications can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
