Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. He also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
