Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, and found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. She has had a low fever for a while. Please ask: How should a tonsillitis with low fever in a child be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Lastly, we hope parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
