Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. She also had a low fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with a low fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. For children with fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
