Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low-grade fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Generally speaking, if it’s pediatric tonsillitis, it can be effectively treated by giving the child symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery early on. Lastly, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to pay attention to related prevention and health care during daily life.
