Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with a low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's throat is very painful, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as appropriate. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during the day, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
