Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has just started to feel a bit of pain in her throat. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should we treat infant and toddler tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment for infant and toddler tonsillitis, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor, as well as regional rinsing or spraying. Intramuscular injections of symptomatic drugs can also be administered to the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, some painkillers can be administered accordingly. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever reducers can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutritional supplementation for the child, eat a light diet mainly, and make sure to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
