Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and we noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. 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 characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
