Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old. She has just started to have a sore throat, with a noticeable pain, and is coughing quite severely. She also has a low-grade fever. What should be done to treat the tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsil drug injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is controlled, surgical treatment can be considered to avoid recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
