Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery.
