Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something, and I noticed her coughing seems quite severe as well. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The effectiveness of these methods is quite good. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
