Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He started coughing more severely, and he also had a low fever and seemed tired. Could you please tell me: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis with a low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
