Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has had a low fever for quite some time. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Local treatments can also be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
