Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and 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 treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
