Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and low-grade fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor's guidance. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger another episode of tonsillitis.
