Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
