Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something, and I noticed her coughing quite severely. At the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis and low-grade fever for the best results?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
