How to treat tonsillitis and low fever in children

Patient's question:

My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
