Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also has a bit of a fever and isn’t very energetic. How should I treat her tonsillitis and fever effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be provided, and regional therapy can also be carried out in addition to systemic medication, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken accordingly. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment options. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and strengthen nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
