Patient's question:
My male baby is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and is lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Maintain a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
