Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a little sore throat, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, antipyretics can be administered orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
