Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. Later, he was found to have a more severe cough, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child has severe throat pain, it is advisable to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
