Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can we treat infant tonsillitis and low fever effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretics as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential 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. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help promote early recovery.
