Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a low-grade fever all along. Question: How should infant tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
