Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
