Patient's question:
My male child is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed he had mild coughing. Also, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the treatment for tonsillitis with low fever in children be effective?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and can be selected appropriately. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
