How should infant and toddler tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

My little girl is 1 year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Depending on the child's condition, you can also give some pain relievers, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
