Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned three months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Moreover, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs may be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the drug treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is advised. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional intake to aid in early recovery.
