Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining it with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
