Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. 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. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
