Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something, and I noticed she had a mild cough. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis with low-grade fever?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. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
