Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seemed like the low fever never went away. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be administered. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medications should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these medicinal treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring they get enough rest to avoid fatigue.
