Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and she noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever for children effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
