Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. In case of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
