Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 5 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
