Patient's question:
My male child, who is 4 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis, and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
