Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a low fever and lacks energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Additionally, it is important to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
