Question
My daughter is 2 years old. She has just started to have a slight sore throat, and I noticed she’s been coughing more severely. Additionally, she seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and crying?
Answer
For better treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. For fever, children can take antipyretic medications, and in severe cases, immediate medical attention is advised. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and receives adequate nutritional supplements to aid in a quick recovery.
