Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She has just started to have a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing, and now she has a persistent fever that won’t go away. How should I treat her tonsillitis with inflammation and fever?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance, as well as regional rinsing or spraying. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child experiences sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be given. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
