Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never subsided. I would like to ask: How can I treat a child's tonsillitis with low fever effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic medications are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's throat is particularly painful, analgesic drugs can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Surgical intervention is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrition, focusing on a light diet, while also ensuring adequate rest and avoiding fatigue.
