How to treat low fever with tonsillitis in infants and young children

Patient's question:

My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with low fever be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
