Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, you can consider taking fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
