Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
