Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, feels sore throat when speaking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as rinsing or direct topical application, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication may be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover more quickly.
