Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed it, and her cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
