Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local flushing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
