Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used as needed, along with regional therapy such as tonsil lavage, and medication injections when necessary. If the primary symptom is throat pain, consider painkillers. If there is a fever, it should be controlled to reduce the temperature; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. If symptoms frequently recur, consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to trigger tonsillitis.
