Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 1 year old, just starting out. She feels a sore throat when speaking and notices that her cough seems to be getting worse as well. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
