Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was noticed that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Question: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and choose surgery for treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
