Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. Also, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Could you please tell me: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated for the best effect?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, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
