Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, started by saying that she felt pain when swallowing. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a slight fever and seemed tired. Could you please tell me: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis and fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
