Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said her throat was sore, but it was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. At the same time as taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If a child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
