Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, started by saying he had a sore throat. Upon observation, he has a rather severe cough, and it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the low-grade fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
