Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and fever to ensure the best outcome?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
