Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts when swallowing, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when talking. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
