Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat her tonsillitis with low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate it. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication, or take the child to the hospital immediately. The above methods are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also one feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
