Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed, her cough is quite severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and low fever in the child be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
