Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he had a low fever and felt lethargic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?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 such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
