Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then she developed a slight cough. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. While being treated, it is also important to provide a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
