Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be getting worse as well. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for quite some time. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
