Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. It was also discovered that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever had not subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
