Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should a fever caused by tonsil inflammation in the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
