Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed she had a slight cough. It seems like she’s had a low-grade fever all along. How should I treat her tonsillitis with low fever for the best effect?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical settings. Parents can select treatments based on symptoms, and if the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the pain in the throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever reducers can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and eats plenty of vegetables and fruits.
