Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis if her tonsils are swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. While undergoing treatment, it's important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
