Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He was also found to have 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 antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal 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, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
