Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said her throat hurt. It was found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Surgery is also a viable option, especially for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
