Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should low-grade fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated well?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
