Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has already developed complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
