Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. I noticed that her cough also seemed more severe, accompanied by low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?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. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if a fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
