Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that he also had mild coughing and low fever at the same time. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis and low fever effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
