Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe cough, and low fever. How can I effectively treat my child’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Treatment can include both systemic and regional approaches, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. Some children may have fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical assistance. In addition to medication treatment, if a child repeatedly experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. At the same time, attention should be paid to giving the child a light diet, increasing nutritional supplementation, which will help in early recovery.
