Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus during treatment.
