Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a low fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever for the best results?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 medication injections are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
