Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
