Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has a low fever and doesn't seem energetic. Could you please tell me how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with a low fever?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
