Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and high fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of the symptoms due to catching a cold.
