Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied locally. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be employed. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
