How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?

Patient's question:

My son is 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
