Patient's question:
My son is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and then we noticed that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the advice of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
