Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had severe coughing and seemed to have a low fever that never went away. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be administered orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
