Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that he also had mild coughing, and he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with low fever in young children.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If a child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
