Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children are properly warmed to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
