Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, he has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
