Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis with low-grade fever, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has 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 child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
