Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, but it was discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How is the treatment for tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. If it is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure your child gets sufficient rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
