Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said her throat was sore. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can a sore throat with low-grade fever in a child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate antipyretics should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary 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. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
