Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she started talking, she felt a sore throat. Then, I noticed her cough seems to be quite severe as well. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How should I treat tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
