Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered locally. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
