Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed she was coughing quite severely and had a bit of a fever and seemed lackluster. How should one treat fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is more severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. For children with prominent symptoms of throat pain, painkillers can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child some oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. These are all relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
