Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water and her throat hurt. She also had a slight cough and has been slightly feverish. How should fever in young children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To better treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
