Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and low-grade fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which are effective. If necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
