Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, 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.
