Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected according to the situation. Additionally, local applications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can also be considered. If the child’s throat pain is significant, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
