Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For repeated acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
