Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic medication can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
