Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, also a bit fever and no energy, please ask: How should low-grade fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe tonsillitis or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
