Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild cough and a slight fever, and he was not energetic. Please ask: How should low-grade fever due to tonsillitis in children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be used. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. Parents should also ensure their children are well-protected from the cold to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
