Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed her cough seemed quite severe as well. She also had a low fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with a low fever in children?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. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to avoid recurrence. 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.
