Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something, and I noticed she has a mild cough. Also, it seems like she hasn't had a fever for a while. I'm asking: How should infant tonsillitis with a low-grade fever be treated for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
