Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed that she was coughing quite severely, and she also had a low fever. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated with antipyretics accordingly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
