Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can also be administered. For sore throat, children can be given pain relievers. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
