Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with a sore throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during treatment.
