Question

My daughter is 3 years old. She has recently been feeling pain in her throat when drinking water, accompanied by slight coughing and low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis and high fever?

Answer

Parents are advised to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as laser therapy or pharmacological rinsing can be considered, and painkillers can be used appropriately based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat is severely painful. If the child has a fever, it should be treated according to the situation; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible, while also ensuring proper health care and adequate rest during the treatment period.
