Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. It was also discovered that his cough seemed quite severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
