Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in children?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 use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
