Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to ease the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
