Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For children who experience multiple acute severe episodes or have existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
