Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?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, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of drugs, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
