Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed she also has a mild cough. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
