Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are both good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
