Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, attending primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results, or local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. It is also important to ensure that the child maintains a reasonable diet and daily routine to help the disease recover as quickly as possible.
