Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. She notices it accompanied by mild coughing, and she's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local rinsing or topical application of medication can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
