Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt pain when drinking water, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases of multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
