Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that he also had mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be applied. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
