Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
