Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. She has just started to complain of a sore throat when speaking, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child’s condition is severe, regional therapy can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered. For children with low fever, physical coolingcan be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently develops inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
