Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he felt pain even when drinking water, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
