Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat tonsil inflammation with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
