Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. She has also had a low-grade fever. How should we treat infant and toddler low-grade tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment options. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
