Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or with existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid early recovery.
