Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, started saying that she has pain when swallowing. I noticed that her cough also seems to be more severe, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Please advise: How should I treat a toddler's tonsillitis with fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to the above drug and treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrence of tonsillitis.
