Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, she had been running a low fever for some time. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover more quickly.
