Question
Dear Parent, Our daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and we noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation. It seems like she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. While taking the medication, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be used to reinforce the effect. Painkillers may be given as needed to alleviate throat pain. If the child still has a fever, fever reducers can be considered, but if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treatment, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and pay attention to preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
