Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be getting worse as well. He has also had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and proper rest habits to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
