Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water. Then, he noticed his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are recurrent inflammation issues, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
