Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
