Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
