Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever caused by tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptom relief, all of which are quite effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
