Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, mild cough, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to have tonsillitis with swelling. How should it be treated?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can include using anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, regional rinsing or spraying, or injecting appropriate medication into the tonsils, all of which can be effective. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. During a persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, arrange for light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
