Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like her low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the healing period.
