Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and she has recently been feeling a sore throat, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she has been running a fever. How should I treat fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications or regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can be administered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be used, and it is advisable to seek medical attention early on in case of high fever. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to arranging your child’s appropriate diet and rest schedule to help the disease recover sooner.
