Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please advise: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
