Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then she found that her cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. I ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be combined. Painkillers can be administered when necessary, especially when the child experiences severe sore throat. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. For multiple acute severe episodes or cases with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. A light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferable during the treatment period.
