Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers as needed. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
