Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Also, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
