Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was also found to have difficulty swallowing, accompanied by low fever. Please advise: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
