Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low fever?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. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is advisable to follow a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
