Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed she had a slight cough and seemed to have a persistent low fever. What should be done to effectively treat children’s tonsillitis, which is very painful?
Answer
The main treatment for children’s tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Options include systemic medication or regional treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a fever, fever reducers can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. Parents should pay close attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
