Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's throat is particularly painful, appropriate pain-relieving medication may be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
