Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. We noticed she also had mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
