Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. Then, she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, it seemed like she had a low-grade fever that just wouldn't go away. I am asking: If a child has tonsillitis and a fever, how can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery.，。
