Patient's question:
Boy, already 6 years old, at first, the throat felt a bit sore, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and a bit of fever, no energy. Please ask: How is the treatment for children's tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the child's throat is particularly painful, analgesic medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be administered promptly. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds or chills from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
