Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially experienced a sore throat when speaking. She also had a mild cough and had been slightly feverish all along. Could you please advise on how to treat high fever and tonsillitis in children effectively?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is suggested. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. If the child has a persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis keeps recurring, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
