Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it is accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should you treat low fever with tonsillitis in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's a child with tonsillitis, antibiotics can be given to the child for symptomatic treatment, which is quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intra-tonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily presents with symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light. Additionally, rest should be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
