Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat, and found that his voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
