Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of drugs can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics may be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
