Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
