Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and fever in the child be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended early. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
