Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be diagnosed and 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, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly pronounced, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
