Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her voice was a bit hoarse. She has also had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
