Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the temperature. For temperatures 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 administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
