Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever had not subsided. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low 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 the symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing and direct application can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
