Question
My daughter is currently 4 years old and is experiencing severe sore throat, intense coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat her for infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
It is advised for parents to select suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used moderately to reduce body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Moreover, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, with fluid foods being the main choice.
