Question
My daughter is 2 years old. At first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. She also had a low-grade fever. What should I do if my child has tonsillitis and is crying and restless, and what treatment methods are effective?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic medications based on their symptoms, and also consider regional drug sprays or laser therapy. When necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication, or take them to the hospital immediately. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance their immunity, in order to prevent recurrence.
