Patient's question:
Boy, who is 9 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, it seemed like a low fever that wouldn't go away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with a low fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
