Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. I noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat her tonsillitis and low-grade fever effectively?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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. 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 still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
