Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it is necessary to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
