Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection drugs, etc., which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as it can help alleviate pain. Additionally, for those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, especially for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
