Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a low fever. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for children with tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
