Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a low-grade fever. How should I diagnose and treat the discomfort caused by my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection medication can also be considered. Depending on the child’s condition, a suitable amount of pain medication can be given to relieve pain, especially when the throat is severely painful. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgery may be an option. Parents should pay attention to this disease, bring their children to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
