Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She recently started to feel a sore throat when speaking, and her voice sounds a bit hoarse. She has also had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s infant tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the efficacy. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and mainly consume liquid foods.
