Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the tonsils and low fever in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first be given symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
