Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. Additionally, he has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some analgesics to relieve the pain. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to 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. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
