Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or local rinsing or topical spraying can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary.In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
