Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and we noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help the child recover as soon as possible.
