Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, make sure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
