Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How can we treat tonsillitis and low fever in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents may consider giving some analgesics to alleviate the pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
