Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If a child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
