Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children 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. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
