Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat is particularly painful, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and choose surgery for treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
