Patient's question:
My boy, he's one year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he's had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is childhood tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and topical medication injections. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advised to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
