Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. For temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
