Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. Then, I noticed her coughing is also quite severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away either. Could you please tell me: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
