Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started saying his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough is quite severe, and he's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgery early. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
