Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection drugs, which are all good options. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
