Patient's question:
Boy, just turned two months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
