Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also found that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and low-grade 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 inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents may consider administering pain relievers to provide relief. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If the symptoms are not relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and focus on consuming liquid foods.
