Question
Dear team, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has just started complaining of pain when swallowing. I noticed she has a slight cough and it seems like she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should be the medical treatment for a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it’s pediatric tonsillitis, administering some symptomatic antibiotics to the child can be quite effective. You can also combine it with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, and other treatments. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. If the child has fever symptoms, you can give them some antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and living habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
