Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is childhood tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
