Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and he noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
