Treatment for Children with Low Fever and tonsillitis

Question

A baby girl, just 6 months old, is experiencing a slight sore throat, mild cough, and is running a persistent low-grade fever. What treatment should be considered for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered. Regional treatment may involve laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. Physical methods can also be employed to lower body temperature, and if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs, so after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered if similar conditions arise. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, focusing on light meals, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
