Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case they can take some oral fever-reducing medications. If this does not relieve the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
