Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should the tonsillitis and low fever of the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child maintains a balanced diet and a proper sleep schedule to help the condition recover as quickly as possible.
