Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Moreover, she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with a low-grade fever?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis, and appropriate drugs can be selected based on the symptoms. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injection drugs are also effective. If there is throat pain, consider painkillers, and for fever, use antipyretics as necessary. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment is an option, and attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and rest to help the child recover quickly.
