Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then it was discovered that her cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be applied. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
