Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
