Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and it seems her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
