Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Also, she has had a low fever for a while. Please advise: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis with low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can consult your doctor to choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under their guidance, or opt for local irrigation or topical spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs or seek immediate medical attention. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. Meanwhile, it's important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and regular sleep habits to aid in early recovery from the illness.
