Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
