Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a low fever for a while. Please advise: How should I treat his tonsillitis and low fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, you can appropriately give some pain relievers. If the child still has a fever, you can consider giving them fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
