Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For cases of sore throat, analgesics can also be administered to children. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
