Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. Upon observation, it was accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Question: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
