Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it was painful to drink water through his throat. Then, I noticed his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever and no energy. I am asking: How should pediatric tonsillitis with a low fever be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Local irrigation or local sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If it cannot be, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help the child recover as soon as possible.
