Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It turns out his cough is also quite severe, and he has a low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
