Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed, coughing was quite severe, and it seemed like the low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?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, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While treating, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
