Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she felt pain in her throat when drinking water, and she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a fever and seemed listless. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child to effectively alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection with medication. If necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also use antipyretic medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. For children with recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
