Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, coughed quite severely, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever 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. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
