Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Noticing that, swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat low-grade fever from tonsillitis in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the results are also quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
