Question
My daughter, who is 3 years old, just started complaining that it hurts when she swallows, and I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, along with a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s fever caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, some painkillers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can also give the child antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and the symptoms recur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to ensure that the child has a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
