Patient's question:
Boy, already 5 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed mild coughing at the same time, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
