How to diagnose and treat low-grade fever in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that she also had mild coughing, and she had a slight fever and was not energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under the doctor's guidance. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
