Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that she also has a mild cough and low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or 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 still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
