Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
