Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was found to have some difficulty swallowing, and she also had a low fever and no energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be given as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences recurrent 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 their immunity and prevent recurrence.
