Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
