Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Also, she's had a low fever all along. Could you please tell me: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is advisable for parents to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
