Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, discovered accompanied by a mild cough, and had been slightly feverish all along. Question: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly pronounced, analgesics are recommended to alleviate the pain. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are recurrent inflammation issues, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
