Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during speech. It seems like she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the child’s inflammation symptoms effectively. While taking medication, some regional treatments can also be carried out, such as rinsing or direct application of medication to consolidate the treatment effect. If necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
