Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How is it effective to treat low-grade fever in children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs should be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
