Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. 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 maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
