Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it turns out his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should low-grade fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases of multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
