Patient's question:
My male child, who is 5 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had mild coughing, and he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
