Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She feels a sore throat when she talks, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever that has not subsided. The child’s tonsillitis is very painful. How should it be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child an antibiotic, and procedures such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, and laser treatment can be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and for fever, cooling methods should be chosen based on the body temperature. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. At the same time, attention should be paid to reasonable diet and rest to help recover quickly.
