Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. 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. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
