Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Initially, she felt pain in her throat when speaking and drinking water, which made swallowing a bit difficult, and she also had a low-grade fever and was listless. How should a child’s tonsillitis with low fever be treated to achieve the best effect?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, the child can be treated with oral antibiotics, which is an effective method. In addition, some local treatment methods can be adopted, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For children with prominent symptoms of pharyngalgia, some analgesics can be used. If the child has a fever, consider using antipyretics in moderation. However, if the fever persists and does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
