Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
