Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed she was coughing quite severely. She also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis fever for the best results?
Answer
For treatment, you can first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be carried out, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can help consolidate the efficacy. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can also be administered, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed in daily life to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis inflammation.
