Question
My daughter is 5 years old, she says her throat hurts when drinking water, accompanied by slight coughing, and her high fever does not subside. How should I treat infant and young child tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the commonly used medications for treating tonsillitis. In addition to systemic medication treatment, consideration can be given to tonsil irrigation or regional drug injection. Painkillers can be used in severe cases of throat pain, and for fever management, the cooling method should be chosen based on body temperature. If the child has recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to hygiene and sufficient rest.
