Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, said her throat hurts, found, coughing is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. If the child primarily has symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
