Question
My son is 2 years old. He recently started feeling a sore throat, with his voice a bit hoarse, accompanied by a low-grade fever. It hasn’t improved. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis accompanied by a low-grade fever, antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with local therapies such as tonsil irrigation, medication injections, or laser therapy. Painkillers can be considered when the sore throat is severe. For the fever, physical or oral fever-reducing methods can be chosen based on the body temperature. If the child frequently has recurrent tonsillitis, surgery may be an option. Additionally, properly arranging diet and rest can also aid in the recovery from the disease.
