Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has had a low fever for a while. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with a low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child well warmed and avoid further worsening the symptoms due to catching a cold.
