Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please advise: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to choose some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, then fever reduction should be considered. If it is above 40 degrees Celsius, then prompt medical attention is needed. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
