Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. It was discovered that she also had mild coughing, and at the same time, it seemed like her low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used in conjunction, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
