Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving drugs can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be given. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery under a doctor's guidance for treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
