Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she was found to have difficulty swallowing. Also, she had a low fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How can I treat tonsillitis with low fever in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, symptomatic antibiotic medication can be used, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be considered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or the presence of complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Lastly, parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
