Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local flushing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, which has good efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. Persistent fever that does not subside can be treated with oral fever-reducing drugs. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
