Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she's had a low-grade fever for a while. I'm asking: How should we treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
