Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended early on. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
