Question
Dear parents, our daughter, aged 6, has just started to feel a sore throat when she speaks, accompanied by severe coughing and low fever. How should we treat her infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, local rinses or sprays, or by injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation, and fever can be treated with antipyretic drugs. If symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Additionally, if the child frequently gets inflamed, parents may consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
