Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 4 years old, initially had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
