Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that the cough seemed to be quite severe as well. At the same time, he had been running a low fever. Could you please advise: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar medication injection. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, medical attention must be sought promptly. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical intervention may be considered. Parents should also ensure their children are well to prevent them from catching a cold, which could lead to reinflammation of the tonsils.
