Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How can I effectively treat my child's tonsillitis and low fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is childhood tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily presents with throat pain symptoms, it is recommended that parents may consider giving analgesics to alleviate the discomfort. Furthermore, if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can also be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for timely medical treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
