Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a low fever for a long time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs is advised. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
