Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. 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. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
