Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that, coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children be diagnosed and treated?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
