Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 8 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. She was found to have severe coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
