Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that she has been coughing quite severely, and it seems like her low fever has not gone away. What are the effective treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to give their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child’s condition is more severe, some regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, and so on. In necessary cases, such as when the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs should be applied. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
