Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for 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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents may consider administering pain relievers to provide relief. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
