Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's throat is particularly painful, appropriate pain-relieving medications may also be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
