Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. She also has a slight fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. If your child has a sore throat, you can also give them some painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral antipyretics. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. During treatment, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover as soon as possible.
