How to treat low-grade fever in children with tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be treated.

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 throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
