Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of drugs, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds and triggering recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
