Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
First, to treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. 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. In cases where inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
