Patient's question:
My male child, who is 4 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. I noticed that his cough also seemed more severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
