Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Meanwhile, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral antipyretics should be given if the temperature is higher than 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
