Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and then we noticed he had severe coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily followed.
