Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. I noticed that her cough also seemed quite severe, and she had been running a low fever. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is also good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer analgesics to alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
