Patient's question:
My son is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, and his cough was quite severe, 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 efficacy. 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 sore throats, to help relieve discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These are 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.
