Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a low-grade fever all along. Question: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. The above are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
