Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. Later, it was discovered that he had severe coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are advised to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
