Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seems that her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, she has had a low fever for a while. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?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. If the child's condition is more severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, medication injections into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relief medication based on the situation. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
