Question
Dear Baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying that swallowing is painful, noticed that, coughing is more severe, and has a slight fever all the time. How should low-fever tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Currently, the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis mainly focuses on antibiotic medications. The choice of sensitive drugs is based on bacterial culture, and regional rinsing or spraying can also be done, as well as the injection of symptomatic drugs into the tonsils, which has a significant therapeutic effect. Painkillers can be given to the child for sore throat, and the fever situation should be handled appropriately; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, timely medical treatment should be sought. If the drug treatment is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to light diet and nutritional supplements to promote recovery.
