Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a low fever with low energy. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. 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 symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
