Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old and has just started saying that her throat hurts, with more severe coughing and a slight fever. How should fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

To effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis, one can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. Additionally, painkillers can be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. In case of severe conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These are some commonly used treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
