Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water felt painful in his throat, and he noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily presents with symptoms of sore throat, it is advisable for parents to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
