Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she said it hurts to swallow things. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to aid in early recovery.
