Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She recently started having a sore throat when she talks, and I noticed she has difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she has a persistent fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis with low fever for the best results?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also perform regional rinsing or spraying, or inject symptomatic medication into the tonsils. These treatments are effective. If your child has a particularly sore throat, you can consider giving some pain relief medication. If the fever persists, you should consider cooling measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, consider surgical treatment. Parents should also ensure their child is well-protected from the cold and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
