Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Question: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. For multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advised to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
