Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results, or it can be combined with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the child's immunity and prevent recurrence.
