Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Also, she has had a low fever all along. I would like to ask: How can we treat tonsillitis and fever effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it's important to provide your child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
