Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, there was a bit of pain in the throat, noticed it, coughing was quite severe, and a little fever with low energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can be given to the child some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. In addition, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
