Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How can I effectively treat tonsillitis and low fever in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
