Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed her coughing seemed more severe, and she’s been running a low fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
You can give her some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the child primarily has a sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate symptoms, and physical cooling can be used for low-grade fevers. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
