Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by a slight cough, and a bit feverish with low energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication may be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Surgical treatment may be considered for cases with recurrent inflammation. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
