Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough. Additionally, she now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low-grade fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving drugs can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
