Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 3 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, perform tonsil crypt irrigation, regional medication injections, and radiation therapy as needed. If the sore throat symptoms are severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible, ensuring that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
