Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that she also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be 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 rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
