Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and has a low-grade fever, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
