Question
My daughter is currently 1 year old. She initially felt a sore throat, her voice was a bit hoarse, accompanied by a slight fever. How should I treat the crying situation in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may also be given. Apply fever-reducing medicine promptly when there is persistent fever, and try physical cooling methods if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there are multiple acute severe symptoms or complications, it is advisable to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
