Patient's question:
My child is a 5-year-old boy. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed he had mild coughing and a slightly elevated fever, and he also seemed lacking in energy. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to a doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
