Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
