Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should low fever due to tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of 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. While treating, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
