Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe and accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when they have severe throat pain, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
