Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 8 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
