Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she also has a low fever. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?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, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40°C, immediate medical attention is necessary. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid early recovery.
