Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
