Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis with low-grade fever?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
