Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should low fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended as early as possible. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
