Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At the beginning, he felt sore when drinking water, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis and low fever in children.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen according to the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
