Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication flushing is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
