Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and low fever of the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first be given symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and choose surgery for treatment under medical supervision. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
