Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and a low fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases of repeated acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents should take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
