Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 8 years old and has just started complaining of a sore throat, and I’ve noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult for her, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one treat a child who has tonsillitis with a fever?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional rinsing or spraying. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If a child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms due to catching a cold.
