Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had mild coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Some appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While systemic treatment is being provided, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt flushing and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child's primary symptom is a sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help facilitate early recovery.
