Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, with mild coughing, fever, and lack of energy. What should we do if she has tonsillitis and is crying and restless?
Answer
Generally speaking, for children with tonsillitis, oral antibiotics can be considered, as well as regional irrigation or the use of regional sprays, or even the injection of medication into the tonsils. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be taken. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be used. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. If a child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment early on. During this period, please ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
