Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 5 years old, started saying she had a sore throat. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, she has now developed a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever for the best results?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, it is recommended to give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
