Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and then discovered that it was accompanied by a mild cough, and he was a little feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
