Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
