Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Now, she has a persistent fever that won’t go away. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional irrigation or spray, or the injection of appropriate medication into the tonsils can be considered. For the sore throat, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain reliever to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. Additionally, surgery is an effective method for treating recurrent episodes, and during treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
