Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she said her throat hurt, and I noticed she had difficulty swallowing. She also had a low fever and seemed listless. How should I treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, which includes methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. For children with fever symptoms, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period and focus on liquid foods.
