Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, started saying that she had pain when swallowing things. I noticed that her cough was quite severe, and at the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children for the best results?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
