Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please advise: How should I diagnose and treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?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 undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
