How to treat low fever with tonsillitis in young children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that the cough seems quite severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the effectiveness. Methods include crypt rinsing, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relief medication can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
