Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
