Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, coughing seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and low fever in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
