Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 1 year old. She has just started to feel a bit of pain in her throat, and it seems her coughing has become more severe. Additionally, she has a slight fever and seems less energetic. What should I do if my child has tonsillitis with low fever for effective treatment?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be based on the selection of sensitive antibiotic medications from bacterial culture, or regional medication such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of throat pain, it is recommended that parents give appropriate painkillers to relieve the discomfort. Some children may have fever as well, and oral antipyretics can be administered to the child. If the fever does not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
