Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and it appeared that his low fever had not gone away. Please advise: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated.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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can 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.
