Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should low-grade fever due to tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
