Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, she has now high fever that doesn't go down, please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
