Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. He also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: What is the best way to treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also choose local treatment to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, you can use analgesic medications. If the child has been running a fever for an extended period, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
