Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed he also had a mild cough. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should the fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical attention and treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
