Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. It was found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed that her low fever hadn't subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be considered to relieve the discomfort. 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 known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
