Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and recently she feels pain when drinking water, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Concurrently, regional treatments can be considered to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can be administered, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, it is important to arrange for a light diet and supplement nutrition to help the child recover quickly.
