Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, saying it hurts when swallowing things, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
