Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that cough seems to be more severe as well, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling is sufficient; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
