Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She has recently been experiencing a sore throat, pain when drinking water, hoarseness, and a persistent high fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be administered. If the condition is severe, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. Painkillers can be used to alleviate the sore throat, and antipyretics should be used promptly if the fever persists. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on, while also ensuring warmth and avoiding colds to worsen the symptoms.
