Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 6 years old, initially said they had a sore throat. They noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and they also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
