Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things. She was noticed to have severe coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
