Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. Then, I noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she's been running a low fever. Could you please tell me: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and fever?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain relievers can also be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to avoid aggravating the symptoms due to catching a cold.
